Magical cottage

We stayed a few days on spring break in this magical cottage and wished we had booked a longer stay. This cottage was perfect for our young and creative family. There were books, art, and toys everywhere - even after a few days, we were finding new surprises that made us smile. This cottage forced us all to slow down. For the first time in years, we listened to CDs and watched DVDs, rather than streaming content. We all created art with the supplies left for guests to enjoy. We all loved the outdoor space and had one wonderful rainy evening in the covered area. The hosts were amazing - very responsive, helpful and kind. Their spirit infused the cottage. The cottage was in a great location that made it easy to explore Louisville. We had never been to Louisville and could have easily spent another week exploring shops and restaurants. We can't wait to come back.

Wonderful place, wonderful location

Wonderful place full of character and charm with outdoor spaces that are a joy to spend time in (even when the weather is on the cool side). Location is also easily walkable to both Nulu and Bardstown road neighborhoods

Creative Sanctuary

This was perhaps the most unique VRBO we’ve ever stayed it. The space is dripping in organic and intentional art that begs you to linger a while and contribute a verse, so to speak. Loved the quiet neighborhood and easy accessibility to dining and entertainment - though just spending time in the cottage was blissful all on its own. Definitely recommend this spot for art appreciators looking for peace and inspiration!
